Cisco NEXUS5672 SBUN N5672-SBUN-P1 72-Port 10G | Data Center, SAN — N5672-SBUN-P1

Keep storage and application traffic moving on a switching platform designed for dense data center aggregation. Cisco Nexus 5672 SBUN brings 72 ports of 10G connectivity together with Layer 3 capabilities and DCNM LAN/SAN integration, giving infrastructure teams a compact way to build or expand high-speed fabrics without sacrificing control. This model fits environments where port density, segmentation, and management consistency matter more than generic switching features. The EL2 designation and storage-focused design make it a strong fit for SAN-adjacent deployments, converged infrastructure, and east-west traffic patterns that demand stable performance under load. For teams standardizing on Cisco networking, it offers a clear path to scale fabric capacity while keeping operations aligned with established tooling and architecture. Choose this platform when lower-cost switches cannot meet the demands of storage traffic, management integration, or long-term data center planning. It is built for organizations that need more than basic connectivity: they need a switching layer that supports uptime, simplifies administration, and preserves headroom for growth. Ideal For Data center leaf or aggregation switching for storage-heavy environments SAN-adjacent connectivity in converged infrastructure deployments High-density 10G access for virtualized server clusters Fabric expansion where Cisco management consistency is required Why This Product 1 Higher port density than entry-level 10G switches 2 Layer 3 support for routed segmentation 3 DCNM LAN/SAN integration for Cisco-managed environments 4 Storage-focused design for converged data center traffic
